We had a dachshund when I was growing up. She was a wonderful dog, but you are right about the stubbornness in training. They definitely March to the tune of their own drummer if not trained properly. There’s also the hard-wired hunting DNA in them. While trying to train her to walk off leash, she picked up the scent of a rabbit and took off after it. After the rabbit disappeared down its burrow, she started frantically digging to go get it, paying absolutely no attention to my calls. It’s that “selective hearing” thing dachshunds have. I had to carry her a few hundred metres before she could forget her prey and continue the walk. We gave up trying to train her for off leash walking.

Wow! I bet that was scary too in case she had disappeared down the hole! Thank you for sharing 🐾🐶

What's the best breed for 1st time dog.

[@dragonflydog]

Oooo that’s a tricky one. It totally depends on your lifestyle and what you want from a dog. I might do a video on that 🐶🐾

I've never had a dog that would go left because I said go right, before a Dachshund. He didn't like thunder storms. He didn't like dark. He didn't like snow. One night I yelled at him for something outside and went in the house. He didn't follow. I waited and he never came. He was sitting in the snow, in the dark defiant as ever. When I called, he just looked at me. That's when I figured out how strong his will was. Lots of videos of these dogs attacking animals, even bears. Lord help the bear if there is more than 2 of them. They are relentless and almost nobody knows it because they look so cute and innocent. They LOOK cute and innocent...

Sorry, Cant stand to hear Dachshund mis pronounced over and over

[@dragonflydog]

In British English, it is often pronounced as "DASH-hund," where "DASH" rhymes with "cash." The correct German pronunciation is “DAHKS-hoont”. American English pronunciation is DAKS-hund - PHEW! Lots of ways to say it and as I’m not German I think it’s ok 😊🐾🐶

U pronounced it wrong

[@DocMR]

@@dragonflydog Yeah, you are absolutely right. The name Dachshund is in german a combination of Dachs(badger) and hund(dog). So every pronounciation that mixes the two words to something like "dashund" sounds pretty strange. As a compromise, because it's a german breed and analog to the GSD, i would suggest rather calling it Badgerdog 😊😊😊, nobody says Schäferhund outside Germany, whole world says German shepherd dog

[@slickwilly4613]

No, not at all.

It’s so important to choose the right dog for you 🐾🐶
